Do more, faster.
Whether your work involves manufacturing, design, science, or finance, our ThinkStation workstations deliver the power you need to do more than any standard desktop. The latest Intel® processors, including Intel Xeon® CPUs with Turbo Boost Technology, are beyond fast - designed for intelligent performance and energy efficiency, these processors automatically adjust based on your usage needs. To amp up responsiveness, we've made room for as many as 12 DIMM slots on select workstations. Plus, we've added DDR3 Error-Code Correcting (ECC) memory, which virtually eliminates memory-related failures.
ThinkStation workstations offer powerful discrete NVIDIA® Quadro® and NVS professional graphics. And on the E30, Intel® HD Graphics too - everything you need for high-performance computing solution graphics to do more
Also, with support for up to a whopping eight monitors at once, ThinkStation workstations help you design, analyze, and simulate - faster than anything else!
Lenovo Enhanced Experience for Windows® 7 PCs boast significantly faster boot-up and shutdown times as well as hardware and software innovations to help you work more productively.
Dedicated support.
ISV-certified. Lenovo works closely with leading software partners, and ThinkStation workstations have hundreds of independent software vendor (ISV) certifications, ensuring that you have the performance you need to run the world's most demanding applications. ISV-certified means dedicated support for maximum performance and reliability so you can do more without worry.
Reliable and secure.
Rigorous voltage, shock, vibration, and drop tests ensure that your Lenovo workstation is equipped with the rock-solid durability Think-branded products are renowned for. Plus our ThinkVantage® Technologies automate updates and maintenance tasks, protect your business critical information, and prevent unauthorized access to data.
Our Rescue and Recovery® helps you recover from system crashes with the push of a button, even if the primary operating system won't boot. And with Client Security Solution, you simply can’t get a higher level of security as a standard PC feature from any other manufacturer.
Additionally, select workstations include Intel® vPro™ technology with AMT 7, for remote maintenance, remove control, fast calls for help, and more.
Clever design.
Our user-centric designs with thoughtful details help you work more productively and make life a little simpler.

- Tool-less chassis for quick and easy upgrades
- Superior cable management
- Premium side-cover latch for easy access to internal components
- Rack-mountable
- Dramatically smaller C20 and C20x models for extra horsepower in the same area - up to 14 systems on a standard 42U rack
Rest assured.
Epic Games uses Lenovo ThinkStations to build their world-renown Unreal Engine 3, used by game studios globally. With their unmatched power and reliability, Epic is able to continually push the boundaries of what is technically and visually possible. Mega-blockbusters including Bulletstorm, Infinity Blade, and the upcoming Gears of War 3 are all developed on Lenovo's ultimate machines.
The North American Eagle (NAE), which may be the fastest vehicle on the planet, relies on some of Lenovo's most powerful technology. Lenovo workstations let the NAE team push design innovation to the extreme in their attempt to break the land speed record - over 800 mph.
